THE PERSON BEHIND THE PORTRAIT

In her own words

Most of my life I have been extremely self-critical and did not believe in my own abilities. Until one day I made an active decision to take responsibility, go after my dreams and trust that I am the author of my own story. I found that one inspired action in the right direction leads to more, and that it’s only me who set the limits. And not least, that magic happens when you first start living in accordance with your calling in life. Life is not without challenges, but they are only there to help make you stronger and wiser. If one door closes, not just one but several will open.I have always had a dream of creating something within the world of fashion, but never felt quite ‘at home’ in the style and expression that we here in the Nordics typically dress according to. My choice of clothing has mostly been based on what fits into the norm and societal rules for what is acceptable attire for a “serious” business woman. But deep down, I have always wanted to express myself differently, and have felt most comfortable and confident when I dared to step out of my comfort zone in relation to my choice of clothing, which usually has the character of emphasizing my female forms -and what many would think is ”too much”. After a wild journey as the founder of a fashion clothing-swap platform, I made the decision to finally start my very own clothing brand, Peach Audacity! With Peach Audacity, I want to give women the audacity to wear exactly the clothes they want, inspire them to feel sexy and stand strong in their womanhood -and not least dress them to NEVER feel too much!
